  • Global crude oil quality monitoring using direct measurement and advanced analytic techniques for raw material valuation
    Patent number: 9244052
    Abstract: A method for monitoring global crude oil quality. The method includes the steps of obtaining samples of a crude oil having a quality, generating characterization data from measurements of samples of the crude oil, determining values of properties of an assay of the crude oil using the data of step a), storing the values of the properties of the assay in a database, determining deviations of the values of the properties of the assay from the values of the properties of a recommended assay having a quality, determining a statistical significance of the deviations of the values of the properties of the assay from the values of the properties of the recommended assay to determine if the crude oil quality is different from the quality of the recommended assay, and determining if the statistical significance indicates a change in the economic valuation between the assay and the recommended assay.

  • Refinery crude unit performance monitoring using advanced analytic techniques for raw material quality prediction
    Patent number: 8512550
    Abstract: A method for the determination of optimal pipestill operation comprising the steps of: feeding a crude oil feedstream into the pipestill wherein the crude oil feedstream is separated into boiling range fractions, performing a virtual assay of the crude oil feedstream to determine predicted boiling range fraction yields, comparing the predicted boiling range fraction yields with the actual boiling range fraction yields from the pipestill to determine differences between these fraction yields, relating the difference between the fraction yields with the operation of the pipestill.
